Created out of my passionate hatred for bigoted non-smokers who can't help themselves but go on an arrogant tirade about the evils of smoking every time they encounter a smoker, this is a place where lovers of tobacco can gather without prejudice.

Whooah, whatthe?! {doubletakes} Somebody actually posting on-topic in a thread?! Am I on the right forum?! =D

But yeah man, fuckin' A, I couldn't have put it better myself... this is my philosophy exactly... I haven't had a cigarette in a couple of months, but I don't consider myself to have "quit" - quitters never win, and winners never quit! I keep my options open - if one day I feel like a cigarette again, I'll have one, without the guilt and the stigma that I failed at "quitting smoking". And if I never have one again, well, alls the better for my health, but I'll take it as it comes, rather than wear the label of an "ex-smoker"... pffft...

But the 16-17 year olds that ask me with a large crowd around are the ones that I have to watch out for.

I was on vacation for a week up in Maine where the local town is pretty small. While I was walking around to the different stores I was approached by two girls came up and asked me if I was over 18. Once they found out that I was indeed over 18 they asked me to purchase them cigarettes. Well, that is no problem to most people, but I am overly cautious and didn't want to get fined for purchasing for a minor.

Not to mention that there were several parents and cops nearby and I wasn't interested in getting my ass reamed by some local cop until he was finished (ala Pulp Fiction)

Yeah, I'm with you on this one man... small town cops are to be avoided at all costs, they like nothing more than to polish their batons on some purty city slicker's rectum...

I once had a kid come up to me and ask for a cigarette, and I would swear in a court of law he couldn't been a day over nine years old. I told him to fuck off, naturally. But that's a funny story which I'll save for posting for it's own merit sometime.

in Denmark it is becoming ILLEGAL to smoke in more and more public places.. mwuhahah.. for example.. the national railroad company will REMOVe the last smoker seats from january.. ahhh.. the sweet fresh smokefreee air... nice... >:)
